Thanks! I'm on the fence, my Lenovo x230 could sure use it.

Great deal, too bad I have already upgraded to a full-size HD though. That, and another $100 and this thing will have cost what my laptop itself costs.

this is only sata 3 and requires msata port which virtually no motherboard has.

I thought most modern laptops have one of these as well... I know all my Thinkpads do.

You dont know much about laptops then... X230s have both an mSATA port under the keyboard and a 7mm drive on the side.
